An adjustable pedal system has a first pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a first jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the first pedal and a second pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a second jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the second pedal and a third pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a third jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the third pedal. An electric motor drives the translatable nuts fore and aft, and a motor control switch assembly controlled by the fore and aft movements of two of the nuts maintain alignment of the three pedals. A memory circuit may be incorporated into the system for moving the pedals to a preselected adjusted position or indicating the preselected adjusted position. The memory circuit may be separate or incorporated in a seat memory module.

An adjustable pedal assembly includes a support structure adapted to connect to a vehicle, with the support structure defining first and second slots arranged in a spaced-apart manner. A pedal assembly is disposed adjacent the support structure, where the pedal assembly includes a pedal. First and second pins extend from the pedal assembly through the first and second slots whereby the pedal assembly is supported for sliding movement on the support structure along the slots. A linear actuator is interconnected with the pedal assembly for sliding the pedal assembly to a desired position along the support structure. The invention may be adapted for use in connection with brake pedals, clutch pedals, and accelerator pedals. In the case of accelerator pedals, the invention can be adapted for use with conventional pedals as well as electronic throttle control pedals.

A clutch pedal () for a vehicle, in particular, a motor vehicle, includes at least one side plate () mounted for rotation spindle () connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. A peg () is fixed to one end of a pedal web () and slides in a first slot () provided in the side plate. A movement mechanism () causes the peg to slide in the slot, defining a length (L) between the rotation spindle of the side plate and the other end of the pedal web. A stud () is mounted in the side plate () at a distance (R) from the rotation spindle, for receiving the end of the rod of the clutch mechanism of the vehicle. The clutch pedal operates to provide a constant step-down ratio (L/R).

A brake pedal () for a vehicle, in particular, a motor vehicle, includes a framework structure () mounted for rotation about a first rotation spindle () connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. A peg () is fixed to one end () of a pedal web () and slides in a slot () provided in the framework structure (). A movement mechanism () causes the peg to slide in the slot, defining a length (L) between the rotation spindle of the framework structure and the other end () of the pedal web. A first link () is connected to the framework structure and is mounted for rotation about a second rotation spindle () connectable to the bulkhead of the vehicle. The first link includes a connection () for receiving an end of the rod of the brake booster of the vehicle at a distance (R) from the second rotation spindle. The brake pedal operates to provide a constant step-down ratio (L/R).

An adjustable pedal system has a first pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a first jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the first pedal and a second pedal pivotally attached to the translatable nut of a second jack screw actuator for adjusting the fore and aft position of the second pedal. An electric motor is drivingly connected to the first jack screw actuator and the second jack screw actuator to drive the translatable nuts fore and aft. The fore and aft alignment of the first pedal with respect to the second pedal is maintained by a switch assembly that is mechanically connected to the translatable nuts of the two jack screw actuators.

An adjustable pedal assembly including a support structure that connects to a vehicle. The support structure includes first and second slots and a pivot point for allowing movement of the support structure with respect to a vehicle. A pedal assembly is disposed adjacent the support structure and is coupled with the support structure via first and second pins. A push rod assembly is coupled with the pedal assembly by a connection point. An actuator is interconnected with the pedal assembly and the push rod assembly such that the pedal assembly and the push rod assembly simultaneously move, such that a uniform mechanical advantage is maintained.

An apparatus for opening and closing a deck lid of a vehicle body includes a jack-screw type drive unit having two elongated relatively rotatable drive elements which are threadably engaged for controlled bi-directional displacement. An electric motor engages the rotatable drive element. A first mounting device pivotally connects the rotatable drive element to a relatively fixed point on the vehicle. A second mounting device pivotally connects the non-rotatable drive element to the deck lid, or vice versa. The motor is energized to affect bi-directional control of the drive unit while enabling low back-drive effort. A concentric spring counters loading due to the weight of the deck lid.
